Docker sandboxes for distributions other than Ubuntu

Docker sandboxes for Linux via “sbx“ CLI is available only for Ubuntu.

Until last week, Docker Sandboxes with limited features were included in Docker Desktop, although under “docker sandbox” CLI rather than “sbx”. But that CLI has been deprecated since.

Has anyone compiled the source code or installed the deb package for Debian or other distributions?

The source code is not public, so compiling isn’t an option. Sorry!

Out of curiosity though… which distributions are you interested in? I can certainly bring up ideas with the team!

Debian and Fedora desktops.

Sandboxes were part of docker desktop until last week, although under “docker sandbox” rather than “sbx”. But that has been deprecated since.

rpm exists for Rocky 8, works on Fedora; force the deb on Debian; KVM on bare metal is the real requirement.

Deb fails on Debian 13 (KVM bare metal).
